The Enchantress

Oh! Kali,  you are hiding in the greenness of  trees ,
in the fragrance of flowers
merged in the  brown earth holding your children close
I see you in the pure white  falling snow,
in the new beginnings of  the misty mornings..
you come around in  the warm rays of the morning sun,
floating in the  soothing mid-day breeze,
then rose   into the expanse of blue  sky
reminding us  to follow you  to  freedom
I saw you in the setting sun..
Oh! Kali, filling all  directions…
with your  magic of twilight..
I saw you hiding in me
You enchantress..

You came out of the layers to peek at me..
To say “no” don’t , when I twist in pain..
Or did you take the tremor for
This child of yours , my mother..
Now I know your secret you Kali..

You can’t keep playing …
When your child is in pain
You Ocean of love…
Why don’t  you come out and play with me sometimes
Till you teach me to  climb up to  your hiding place..
Then I promise  I won’t cry anymore..
